He also gave a speech to a bunch of Moonies... who apparently still exist. 

I was saying this to a friend recently. He'll "run" for as long as he can making as much as he can, then at the last minute he'll stop and blame it on the Dems somehow.

This probably says either a lot about how I perceive MTG, but I can't tell if that's photoshopped or not.

So angry right now.

How many of the Proud Boy types are gonna get away with what Rittenhouse did now?

Real lawyer breaking down why Rittenhouse was found Not Guilty. Cohen's a good egg so I'd hear him out.





Also T. Greg Doucette is a good follow for anyone who wants to understand the law better. He's an Conservative, but he's a reasonable Anti-Trump Conservative who has a podcast exposing police brutality. He called the Rittenhouse trial from the beginning.

Dracula, great week for your boy Biden.

Russia Announces Deployment of Over 140 Warships, Some to Black Sea, After Biden Warning

Biden did not promise to unilaterally cancel $10K in student debt, he said the $10K cancelation should be included in the cares act and asserted he'd sign legislation like that.  The notion that he can cancel that much debt via executive order is a bullshit notion that bad faith actors are spreading in order to disappoint people, if Biden actually tried to do that it would almost certainly be struck down as an overstepping of the executive branch by the supreme court that just did this:

Literally hours before Biden is so show up in Pittsburgh a high and very much used bridge collapsed this morning around 6 am. There are beautiful foot paths and a dog park below it, it's right near the Frick museum, this was not an old bridge or one I would have ever been nervous about traversing (we have something like 300 bridges around the city, some are def more scary than others.)

Glad it was early in the morning on a snowy day that hopefully kept people home. Injuries currently have not been reported but the fall is quite high I'd be surprised if there weren't any.

News helicopters are capturing the collapsed bridge from like 5-9 daily. It makes no sense, what changes on a collapsed bridge in a week? A month? Every hour?

It's a residential area people are starting to get pissed.
